We have exchange 2003 ENT edition... We want to go to Exchange 2003 Standard... we no longer have a need for enterprise edition... we want to install this on the same server... currently the server is set up in w2k3 x32 edition... it is a 64bit server... we want to redo the server as w2k8 x64... our mailstore is on a SAN attached via a fiber channel, so we can wipe the box and keep the mailstore on the SAN... how would we go about doing this? We only have one server we can use for the "upgrade" (which is really a reinstall of the os and exchange and upgrading the mailstore)
Hi, You can't upgrade the databases from 2003 to 2007 so you must install an exchange 2007 server in the same organization and then move everything over to this new server. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6BD13B0C-88B4-4DEB-B55D-7D70916C660C&displaylang=en Leif "Smokey Grindel" skrev i meddelelsen news:e7YjWK%23zIHA.3884@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > We have exchange 2003 ENT edition...
